Devon has long been epitomised as the archetypal British holiday destination with hundreds of beaches and coves, which attract thousands of visitors each yesr. The county boasts two long coastlines - the north facing the Atlantic and the south the English Channel. Then there are the moors - Exmoor and Dartmoor, with their desolate, romantic beauty. Windswept, heather strewn moorland and broken, granite tors which include some of the most remote places in England.
The North Devon coast offers contrasting sheer cliffs and sandy beaches - here surfing is the in thing, especially on the western Atlantic facing coast. At Tunnels Beaches, Ilfracombe a large tidal swimming pool offers safe swimming and inflatables use. Woolacombe Sands is ideal for swimming and water sports and as with many beaches in Devon is manned by lifeguards in high season.
The South Devon coast is also one of contrasts - the red sandstone cliffs and pebble beaches of parts of the Heritage and Jurassic coasts and the small secluded bays of parts of the South Hams. Here also water-sports such as diving and windsurfing are popular and family friendly beaches abound.
Devon has plenty of quality attractions including award winning animal centres like Pennywell Farm, Paignton Zoo and the National Marine Aquarium. Families and couples who appreciate something more active can always enjoy the great outdoors and zip through the treetops at the River Dart Adventure Centre or take the rope challenge at Go Ape.
